Rings should be read from the bottom up not top down.

Ah, in that case, TIGER yes, I can see an uncompleted O and a V with a bit of a cross bar now. But that's still not it , is it !  The ring is Orange so I  should see a V  and an S. Oh deary deary me. I'll have another look

EDIT

Yes, I see it now - the O is in fact the top (or bottom) part on an S  and the V is indeed  a V

Sorry there is no O  only a VS

We have become used to truncating Orange to O

Tiger said: 'Keith   The problem is that there is plenty of evidence that Orange VS was a waster. However EJ did seem to have a soft spot for him"  

 I remember someone saying years ago that whatever his shortcomings OVS did show a consistant (can't say faithful) love for EJ. This is a paraphrase as I can't remember the exact quote.

Tiger also said, same post: "The real crunch would come if a new male turned up at Loch Garten today. Would EJ say "Sorry you are not Odin" or would she say "Game on" :) "

Let's just hope that Odin IS the first male to show up on the nest.  I have absolutely NO faith in EJ's determination to make the "good" decision.

This seems to be EJ's problem:

I can't say no!

Good day CRINGER - I noticed that your client has had plenty of waiting time around the nest so I am sure you will have had time to consult her. I will take you back track to 10:00 PM post yesterday and then my learned friend you can lead on from there.

You asked for views - I asked your client to answer questions based on facts - However it seems you got some views - some of which are interesting me Sir. I am eargerly awaiting the response to the questions I asked of your client.

I am sure she is awaiting my visit next week with great excitement.

Hi Tiger. I remember Orange VS with affection. If another male turned up before Odin Ej would, no doubt, 'get to it'. After all she's a sensible and experienced osprey and 'time's a-wastin' there's a lot to achieve. I wonder, if Odin was very late would he toss out any eggs that had been laid?

Richard says he thinks his PC works on parafin, I think mine's a wind up one....elastic!

quietwoman  Great to see you again.  Yes it would be fascinating to see what Odin would do if he found EJ with eggs. I do not think that is very likely know. There are only two ospreys that I know that had to decided what to do when he found the wife playing away. I know everyone knows that one was Henry and also know what Henry did. I wonder if people know what the other osprey was and what he did. I have mentioned him often enough.

TIGER - Yes METAL RING at Aberfoyle.

He kicked the eggs out at Aberfoyle May 2010.

Even B & B would get this one correct.

Make that three then! I wasn't thinking of METAL RING but you are absolutely correct.

Some reason a Posh Link will not work for this one.

Well  let us see if a posh link works. :)

TIGER

My second choice then is S18 after Metal Ring (Aberfoyle). Thats Three Now.

He returned and found his missus S06 with the Norwegian Male Bird S09.

He evicted S09 (Blue XB) but looked after the eggs and raised one of them to fly as if it was his own. The other two eggs failed to hatch

I would love to know if S06 is stil alive.
